So...how did I end up at this silly website?

I grew up on the internet. When I was younger, even as a freshman in high school, I had stumbled across and read some PUA material. I had tried to incorporate it but I think overall it just made me weirder. I wasn't ready for it, I didn't fully understand it, and it was a bad environment to implement it. The mean things I took away from it, that were valuable lessons, was something along the lines of "Just don't be that ***** who is naively wrapped around some girl's finger. Stand up for yourself"

That's all good and well, except that I didn't understand exactly how "that *****" ended up in his position in the first place. and THAT is EVERYTHING.

I was not successful in high school. Not even once. I had a lot of **** going on in my personal life and I was not mentally or emotionally prepared to step up. Literally 0 sexual experience with girls throughout high school, even though I know several had crushes on me and I was just too naive to notice or too scared of the consequences to follow through.

Don't get me wrong. I was never totally lost. It always just seemed like something that could be put off till later...like something that would happen...eventually...

All of this theory, maybe one day it would become useful. Girls could wait until later.
BUT THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.
Until girls have entered your life...Until you know how it feels, the pain, the rush...ALL OF THESE WARNINGS/ADVICE ARE EMPTY AND MEANINGLESS...

There is only one way to learn. That is THROUGH EXPERIENCE. After you have had the **** kicked out of you, you can benefit from an older homie dropping some wisdom on you. Any other way just wouldn't be "right", even if it worked...I knew how to flirt. I had made out with a fine (8/10) girl at a party before. So I never felt totally hopeless, but as I got older I really didn't like being a virgin.


_____________
Fast forward to college. In the first term, there is a really slutty, short 6/10 in my dorm who has been obviously flirting with me. After going to a party for a bit, we go back to my place...blah blah we make out for about 45 min, i finger her...I say what do you wanna do...she says anything you want...I say I wanna **** you...she says but I'm a virgin blah blah blah. She gives me my first (awful) bj.
I try to be a gentleman but I admittedly said some stupid things. The next day was weird. She wanted to talk. She said I remind her of her past BF that I'm an ******* etc etc. We have never really talked since. She has tried to make me all jealous and **** but she has probably learned by now that I'm not having it, because I'm just not attracted to her.


___________________

Next experience with a girl was just me making out with some girl at a party. It turned out she had/has a serious crsh on me (we talked on facebook). She's actually pretty damn cool but just doesn't cut it in the looks department (5-6/10). I told her my feelings after she said that she liked me.
___________________

Next I would like to fast forward to the next girl, whom I actually have a lot of respect for (which I now realize after my "relationship" with the MOST RECENT GIRL, who will come later).
Well she also lived on my floor and we had been hanging out a lot more, getting to know each other. I'll make the story short. She had a bf. Meanwhile, this girl had been sleeping in my bed (still no sex...I still dont believe in cheating). They break up. School is about to end and we have our thing. I lose my virginity (oh, and I performed as bad as possible! I hadn't been masturbating. hah!) She's really sweet but not all that attractive (6-6.5/10), she's cool, etc...I've had interesting conversations with her.
I'm grateful to her. No, i really am! I couldn't have asked for a more gentle transition into relationships and being intimate with a girl. Now that I think of it she had emotional problems but no obvious red flags except sluttiness / loving sex.

But what did it make me want? It made me want more...

__________________

Let me first emphasize, up until this point I already had the seeds of DJ planted in my head. I knew not be a little ***** ass ***** and not to cave in. I knew to be flirty and playful etc. But where I had gone wrong is that I considered Players to be jaded losers who generalized all their "wisdom" from a very specific subset of girls (trashy, slutty bargirls). In that case, i thought to myself, I don't want those girls. Sex seems so inconsequential, so fleeting...so...NOT WORTH WORRYING OVER. But what I would really like is the whole package...a girl who is sweet, caring, who makes me better, who is going to be around for me...These DJ rules do not apply to this, I told myself. I want that kind of relationship, and I am going to do what it takes to get it when I find a girl whom I think is worthy...

I had read stories, before, many stories over my lifespan on varoius internet forums...and I thought, how could these guys be so naive? Well...

She's beautiful. As soon as I first saw her, I knew I wanted to know her better. She's smart, clever, witty, deep ....AMAZING.
^(((this is what I THOUGHT. This is what I couldn't bear to admit wasn't true, after I had idealized her into what I WANTED TO HAVE...But it wasn't REAL)))

I wanted to have a relationship with her, but she had a boyfriend. Still, I hung out with her over the summer...we became closer...Eventually I said to myself, this is too much (because she has a boyfriend), and cut off contact.
It was hard for me. To sleep at night. To...not see her or talk with her. After about 2 weeks, she was texting/messaging and I caved in. She mentioned that her and her boyfirend were "on a break" now. I figured cool, how about I make another shot at this

Now allow me to summarize the rest briefly ,to get the main lessons across:
This girl has SERIOUS ISSUES. We talked so much...I slowly start to reveal my feelings. Then in a series of conversations, everything comes out. Her daddy issues, her trust problems, the fact that she has never actuall seriously emotionally cared about one of her boyfriends before...and get this, she says:

"I don't want to hurt you. you make me realize how broken i am."

and in SO MANY WORDS, She kept sending me vague, ambiguous, unclear messages about how she "LIKES" me "A LOT", but "isn't ready" "is going through too much" etc etc

and for a while, I actually bought it!!! This poor girl, I thought, she loves me and look how unlucky this situation is!!

Until after talking with numerous people and lots of thought, I realized it : she's just not into me. and this is how she manages her pain control. She thinks she's doing me a favor by preserving our "friendship" and sparing me the truth. Meanwhile she wants to string me alone because she wants the validation (she told me she has literally had multiple guys this summer confess their feelings to her! Jeez, no wonder this whole thing was a bigger shock for me than for her!! The whole thing was probably scripted. She brought up her family, then kept hinting, then a few days later she drops the "oh, im just too broken. its not you, it's me" line...HAHAHHA)


OR.... She really is that screwed up and it's not gonna happen anyway!


And guess what...IT HURTS. But I'm getting over it! Because I realize it's not the end of the world.

I feel like I"ve had my first REAL insight into the minds of girls and it scares the **** out of me.

This girl seemed so well adjusted on the outside, but guess what...

THE MOST PERFECT ONES ARE USUALLY THE ONES WITH THE MOST ****, THE MOST PAIN INSIDE, WHO HAVE LEARNED TO HIDE IT THE BEST.

I can't believe how naive I was, but I'm also amazed at how much I've learned.

And not only am I not interested in chasing random ***** right now, I'm also not interested in a serious relationship. Because I know it will either come around or it won't, and exerting effort is useless.

So that's where I am now. and you know what I'm going to focus on?

NOT GIRLS.

But IMPROVING MYSELF.
Because you know what I think...?


THIS GIRL DID ME A FAVOR.

All those girls who ****ED WITH YOU did you A FAVOR!!

How??

All these **** tests, all this bull****, is designed to determine whether YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
I wasn't truly confident in myself, and she sensed it.
Some guys are so good at bull****ting they get the girls without actually believing. That works for them.
That's not what I want. I want to believe in myself. I want to think I'm the ****. and I'm going to make it happen. And you should too. So you'll know in the future, if it doesn't work out, IT'S NOT YOU that's the problem! And I don't blame her.
Because I know she probably isn't even aware of all the ****ed up **** going on in her head. I know she's had a tough past and that it really is nothing personal. It's not my fault (well, it kind of is, but you understand)
(by the way, I have cut off contact with this girl)

Thank you, that's all. I just had to get some things out and I hope ya'll enjoy the read.

Good for you man...we've all been there at some point in our life. Personally, at this moment in my life I'm not focusing every minute on girls...I'm on a journey to find myself...and to truly makes me happy...when you find yourself and gain confidence from believing like you say the girls will flock.

Its nice to suddenly have this moment of clarity, and see what youve been doing, and how you can change for the better. isnt it?



EDIT: run out of posts,so im adding here....



Yes it is nice but I'd be lying if I said I didn't still doubt "the truth" a little and I'd definitely be lying to say I'm 100% over this girl! It's incredible the kind of vague, ambiguous texts she would send to me that made it sound like I have a chance. She even went as far as to say in one text, "in a parallel universe maybe we'd be dating. I like you enough." WTF.
Too many mind games regardless. MAYBE in a month or so if is trying to contact me I'll check her emotional state and see if it's worth a go. I think there's a 5% chance she's actually "in love" with me and just gneuinely felt amazingly confused. Time might give some insight but I'm sure not banking on it. All I know is this situation DEFINITEly wasn't TEXTBOOK "dumb ass friend thinks he has a chance". There were many more nuanced layers here but I think that it is PROBABLY the general model for this situation...But I guess it's never that simple anyway when it's your heart that's being ****ed with. Or I shouldn't even say that, because that just takes power away from me. I put my heart on the line. I really don't blame her.




I know your feelings there man, been there. I dont blame any of the girls that i stepped in as an emotional crutch for. i was there as a white knight(tampon) willing to be used, and I was.

Its the predicament of it being you!
i can look at a situation of a friend or anyone and give half- decent insight IMO.
BUT as soon as it comes down to ME? I cant, im inside my own head, looking for, and finding, and grasping at straws that arent there.
Once you get down through the fluff in your head, and to the bones of the situation, you can see....
It really is a textbook case.

Edit: is it really so obviously textbook? I was NOT this girl's tampon until she unloaded it all at once and I took the bait. Until then I had played it relatively cool. But she did unload right around the time that I started stepping up the flirtation (which was done BADLY on my part, cringe-worthy stuff). Meh...Yeah I may as well treat it as textbook case. But man it's still hard for me to believe that this girl doesn't have any feelings...some of the things she said, if that's true, cross the line from me being naive to her being a psycho manipulative little ****.

If these feelings of budding "love" on my part were really just me responding with "Captain Save a Ho" syndrome to the particular subtype of girl whom I am primed to have toxic relationships (because of my own personal issues), then I can honestly see why many of you stop looking for "the one" or girlfriends at all once you get over that emotional hurdle / realization

I understand the mentality behind indirect rejection so well right now.

You see, look at it from the girl's perspective:

why would she just say she doesn't like you?

she wants to maintain all the positive benefits of your relationship wihtout severing ties.

therefore her best option is always to "Keep you around just in case" rather than tell you how she really feels

In short..


she wants you to be grateful that you have greater than 0 benefit to HER. lol.

Enjoyed the anecdotes, and I commend your realization. I also realized lately that it is not always YOUR fault. There are a lot of phucked up girls out there behind a beautiful mask of good looks.

It seems the more confident you are, the keener your senses become to broken girls and bad situations. Kind of how a chef can taste 40 ingredients in a bite of food.

Yeah so I've been NC for a month.

How it ended: i was on a road trip, texted her saying that I wish the best for her etc. and implied that I wasn't going to be talking with her.

Then she tried to act like it was alright (basically said "alright, i understand") but then once she realized I was serious tried to reel me back in with a "can you talk for a minute?"

When I didn't reply to that she sent a text angry at ME for not talking with her and saying if I didn't want to talk with her I should jump in a lake (wtf?)

so I just wrote back "Don't contact me again".

and she hasn't.

I still think of her sometimes. I still dream about her...

and I still idealize her. and think of her as this great, troubled girl whom I could help (my savior complex)
and I think back to some of those things she said and wonder...Did she want me to try harder? was she just waiting for me to go all out and profess my love?
But then I realize...I don't think we could have a healthy relatoinship together. But it kills me...Like Im through all this pain for a girl I was never really involved with.

Now I know not to give out my love so easily...Now I know that the girl has to prove herself as someone who isnt going to **** all over my heart. But I have to admit, I still want to be with her, at least to try it out...but as far as I know she's back with her old boyfriend and I wouldn't sacrifice my dignity. I'm sure she's "gotten over" this a lot easier than I have...

Maybe it would take my mind off things to be with another girl. But all I do is study now. I know one girl who definitely wants me but shes just not that attractive. And there's another girl who used to flake on me all last year and expressed a lot of interest this year. She's pretty cute, but I just don't think we're compatible.

Im feeling pretty ****ty right now. this love game is crazy

you would've been better off not sendind the text and just ignoring her. I know this feeling, and I've been there, broken no contact, sent the texts, but after reading the no contact thread, and posting on it. I feel better.
You should have a look, anytime you get there urges to send a message read the thread and post what you were about to do, it helps get that sh1t out of your system.
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

I guess what really drives me wild is the disparity between how much she claimed to care (what she said) and how easy it seems to be for her (her actions)...and yeah, I agree I would have been better off just ignoring her. I need some fresh poon tang but i'm far from a DJ and I'm really picky, which doesn't make things any easier. College game works a lot around social circles and I go to one of the hardest universities in the country, all I have done hte last 3 weeks is study basically. I should have joined a frat last year for my social sanity
